Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081: The Chu Family Also Sent Someone to Capital City

“Rong Yan, a small-time star in the entertainment industry, has been struggling for over a year and remains merely a third-tier celebrity. I know that given her dim beginnings, her climbing a few steps within a year is impressive, but that doesn’t change the fact that she’s still just a domestic third-tier female star. If you are waiting for her to become a dazzling figure in this circle, you will have to wait at least three to five years, and that’s the bare minimum, assuming you continue to support her from behind. Besides, let’s talk about something else.”

Chu Xi’s gaze was piercing, her words cutting deep.

“My boyfriend is at least from a clean heritage. Although his family background has a certain gap compared to our two families, it’s not too far off. The difference between you and Rong Yan is like night and day. Even if you and I dissolve our engagement, to be honest, I can’t think of any reason for you to choose her. Because of her looks?”

She smiled confidently and charmingly, “Speaking of looks, not to be narcissistic, but I am not inferior to your girlfriend. There are plenty of beautiful and talented socialites in this circle. After all considerations, the only reason I can think of why you must choose her is because of your son.”

Li Shengxiao had a son; she had clarified this a long time ago.

She had also found out about the child’s mother.

It was after discovering this that she became interested in this man.

A man with such excellent conditions, willing to take responsibility for a woman, at least wasn’t heartless. In this day and age, finding a man in this circle who isn’t heartless is harder than reaching the heavens; she didn’t want to waste her youth and opportunities.

“You investigated me?”

Chu Xi looked directly into his sharp gaze, unfazed. “Pfft, you haven’t investigated me? Don’t joke around. It’s better for us to investigate each other, right? That way, we can collaborate happily.”

Indeed, Li Shengxiao had investigated the woman before him, remaining silent.

Chu Xi was a very intelligent woman, her intelligence not the superficial kind like that of Rong Weiwei. Her smartness lay in knowing when to stop. After voicing her previous doubts, she did not continue to dwell on them but went back to the original topic, “There’s another thing–the Chu Family has arranged for another person to come to Capital City apart from me. Apparently, the person has already arrived. I don’t know who it is. Since we’re going to collaborate, Mr. Li, you should be more careful. Ah, don’t drag me down with you.”

Another person from the Chu Family had come to Capital City! Li Shengxiao’s eyes suddenly darkened. How had he not heard anything about this!

What was the Chu Family planning by having Chu Xi come here and sending another person…

His gaze at Chu Xi grew more scrutinizing.

Chu Xi felt his doubtful eyes and explained nonchalantly, “Don’t look at me, I also don’t know why my family sent someone else. Maybe they suspect me just like they suspect you. They’re not at ease, so they found someone I don’t even recognize to monitor us as well.”

Li Shengxiao’s lips parted slightly, “I thought the Chu Family cherished Miss Chu very much.”

For twenty years, the Chu Family had never let their precious jewel be exposed to the public. One can say that among the world’s top families, only the Chu Family does this. Other families can’t even understand why the Chu Family protects their jewel so strictly as they usually consider not exposing them to media is quite protective enough, but not the Chu Family; they have never exposed their jewel in this circle…
